Modular tray assembly for a respiratory apparatus

Abstract

A modular tray assembly including a first modular tray member having side wall members, a top wall member, and a bottom wall member. Secured to at least two side wall members are block bracket members that are used to support adjacent modular tray members having side, bottom, and top wall members. Each of the side wall members of the adjacent modular tray members has a channel bracket support member that engages the associated corresponding block bracket member of the first modular tray member. The bottom wall member of the first modular tray member has a planar support bracket member vertically extending therefrom which has a bracket member having a cylindrical opening at the distal end thereof. A cylindrical support member is received through the cylindrical opening and also by a circular opening in a bracket member secured to one of the side wall members of the first modular tray member for supporting the tray assembly. The cylindrical support member is mounted on a base support which has wheels for transporting the tray assembly from place to place. Respiratory apparatus is mounted on the top portion of the cylindrical support member.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. Tray assembly for respiratory apparatus or the like comprising first modular tray means having a plurality of side wall members and a bottom wall member;   first bracket means having a planar support member extending in a vertical plane from said bottom wall member and having a first bracket member disposed at the distal end of said planar support member;   second bracket means connected to at least two of said wall members, said second bracket means having a tapered block shape,   third bracket means connected to one of said side wall members;   second and third modular tray means each having bracket support means secured thereto, said bracket support means having a channel shape complementary to said second bracket means for supporting said second and third modular tray means on opposing side wall members of said first modular tray means; and   support means extending between said first and third bracket means to support said modular tray means.   
     
     
       2. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said second bracket means is connected to a third one of said side wall members for supporting a fourth modular tray means having a channel shaped bracket support means. 
     
     
       3. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said first bracket member includes a tubular opening for receiving a cylindrical support member. 
     
     
       4. Apparatus according to claim 3 wherein said third bracket means has a curved opening in vertical alignment with the tubular opening for receiving said cylindrical support member. 
     
     
       5. Apparatus according to claim 4 wherein said cylindrical support member is mounted on a support base having wheels. 
     
     
       6. Apparatus according to claim 5 wherein the upper portion of said cylindrical support member is connected to respiratory medical means. 
     
     
       7. Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein each of said modular tray means includes a top cover hinged thereto. 
     
     
       8. Apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said fourth modular tray means has a clip member attached thereto for holding document material.
